Cultural Activities

Practice English while you participate in cultural and recreational activities in the beautiful harbour city of Halifax.

With four distinct seasons and a temperate climate, this medium-sized Canadian city on the Atlantic Ocean offers an exceptionally clean, safe living environment only 2 hours by air from Toronto or New York. The university campus is just a five-minute walk from a natural forest park jutting into the Atlantic Ocean or a twenty-minute walk from exciting downtown restaurants, movie theatres and shopping.

Take part in organized visits to museums, historic sites and art galleries, shopping expeditions, concerts, theatre presentations, and outings to local businesses, schools and other parts of the province. Seasonal activities vary but may include the following:

On every outing you will be accompanied by our friendly and knowledgeable Cultural Assistants who will help you understand and learn more about Canadian culture. Each semester there are a variety of different activities to suit all tastes and interests.
